Father Ning's words were like a bolt from the blue. Zhang Ke'er staggered after hearing them, and she had to hold on to the girl beside her to stand steadily.

Ning's mother became even more anxious, "My Lord, we can't be impatient about this matter. We have to find a suitable one..."

"Then when will we find her? If we can't find her in our lifetime, do we have to support her for the rest of her life? Even if you have this intention, she may not appreciate it. She may even scold you behind her back for wasting her youth!"

"My Lord, Ke'er won't do that!"

"Needless to say, find her a marriage within a month. Otherwise, I will have to ask the Zhang family to find her a marriage."

This time Ning's mother couldn't stand it anymore. She knew that Zhang Ke'er was old enough to get married, but she was neither high nor low, so marriage became a difficult matter.

She was planning to search carefully, and if it was impossible to keep her for two more years, she would find her a husband with all the necessary qualities.

But now Ning's father was pissed off and issued a death order. If Zhang Ke'er was allowed to arrange the marriage with the Zhang family, she might end up marrying a peddler.

She couldn't bear to do that, so she could only go back to her room and hug Zhang Ke'er and cry, "My poor Ke'er, I don't know what Ning Ning and Ning Ran had done to the Marquis to make him lose all his affection! Don't worry, Ke'er, mother will definitely find a suitable marriage for you!"

Having said that, it's not easy.

Especially now that Zhang Ke'er doesn't have a good reputation in Beijing, people who know her well are unwilling to plead with her.

Those who came to beg for mercy obviously had other motives. Some of them were from impoverished families and wanted her dowry, while others were from low-class families and only wanted to marry the adopted daughter of the marquis to bring glory to their family and tell others that they had a distinguished relative.

"No, they are useless. The son of this family is well-known for being unfilial. That family is not good either. I heard that all their things are about to be pawned..."

Ning's mother and her trusted nanny were counting the people they were interested in recently. The more they thought, the more they frowned. However, they did not notice that Zhang Ke'er was eavesdropping outside the window. Her eyes wandered for a moment, and then became firm. She wondered what she was up to.

A few days later, there was a plum blossom viewing banquet in the capital, and Zhang Ke'er wanted to go. Ning's mother thought that if she showed up again and performed well, she could change people's impression of her and find a suitable marriage, so she nodded and agreed.

Unexpectedly, when Zhang Ke'er arrived at the banquet, she didn't say much and tried to be as inconspicuous as possible. She quietly walked towards the back door when no one was paying attention.

There was already a maid waiting there. When she saw her, she opened the door and let her into the empty back alley. Then she entered another door and came to another small courtyard, where she met Sun Jisheng who had been waiting there.

Then they started crying and telling each other their true feelings.

Zhang Keer first said that she had actually been attracted to him for a long time, and had thought that they were a good match, and that she was just waiting for the elders in the family to arrange an engagement. However, things were unpredictable, and now she was absolutely not worthy of Sun Jisheng. The Ning family was also trying to find a marriage for her, and she didn’t know how they would treat her. This was her fate, and she could not disobey it. She just wanted to see him once before getting married.

"Brother Sun, I know that you went to persuade my brother that day, and I know that you also have me in your heart. I am really happy, so happy, woo woo..."

Seeing the beautiful woman crying, Sun Jisheng's heart was broken. "I didn't expect the Ning family to be so heartless. They can just throw away all the love and affection they have given you for so many years. I think they kept you here just to torture you. They have no good intentions at all."

"Brother Sun, please stop saying that. No matter what, it was the Ning family who raised me. I will always remember this kindness. It's a pity that I have no way to repay your kindness."

"Ke'er, don't say that. I'm going to tell my parents that I must marry you."

As they talked, they got closer and closer, and somehow they ended up hugging each other.

Actually, Sun Jisheng came to see Zhang Ke'er today just to pour out his heart, and he had no plans for anything else. After all, he was educated as a child of aristocratic family, and Zhang Ke'er was not a prostitute. Naturally, he loved her and knew not to be rude.

But Zhang Ke'er was the love of his heart for many years after all. The two of them expressed their feelings to each other. Zhang Ke'er threw herself into his arms pitifully, and he couldn't help but feel distracted.

No one noticed who started the fight first, but the two of them rolled over on the couch.

After the storm cleared, Sun Jisheng hugged the crying Zhang Ke'er and comforted her, swearing again and again that he would never let her down and would definitely marry her.

Zhang Ke'er seemed to be hiding shyly in his arms, but in fact there was a gleam of light in her eyes.

She had already thought about it, and judging from the current situation, Sun Jisheng was her best choice. After all, he was from a noble family, and Sun Jisheng had her in his heart.

As long as you hold his heart, you won't have to worry about your future.

Moreover, although Sun Jisheng has no talent, he still has a sense of responsibility.

Now that he has had an affair with her, he will definitely ask his family to marry her.

The two were in love when suddenly, an angry voice came from outside, "Where did you take my adopted sister? We came together for the banquet today, and when we left, I promised mother that I would take care of her. How come she is gone? Tell me, old woman, where did you take her?"

Then the voices became louder and louder, and a maid was trying to explain, "It's unfair, Prince Ning, I was just looking at the back door, but your young lady didn't go through the back door. This is someone else's yard, we can't just walk in!"

Someone else advised, "Brother Ning, don't be anxious. Let's look for her carefully. Your adopted sister won't be lost!"

Sun Jisheng and Zhang Keer were shocked. How did they get here? !

Ning Ning also came today, but the male and female guests were separated. Ning Ning also became increasingly cold towards Zhang Ke'er. Zhang Ke'er expected that Ning Ning would not come to look for her, so it didn't matter if she left, as long as she came back in time before the end of the banquet.

Who would have thought that at the most critical moment, Ning Ning would actually bring people over!

They hurriedly got up and put on their clothes, but before they could put on their clothes, the people outside had already broken in.

Ning Ning even shouted, "Where is my adopted sister? You took her - Sun Jisheng?! You, you -"

Zhang Keer hurriedly pulled the quilt over her body, her mind filled with one thought: It's over!!!

This time their affair became a big deal among the children of nobles and officials in the capital, and everyone knew about it!

Ning's father felt it was embarrassing and ordered his men to lock her up in the yard.

Sun Jisheng was also beaten, and then the Sun family sent someone to tell him that Zhang Ke'er could marry him, but only as a concubine.

But after all, she is from a good family and the adopted daughter of the marquis's mansion, so she can be a concubine.

Father Ning nodded and said, "Send her back to the Zhang family and let her marry out of the Zhang family. My Ning family can't afford to lose this person!"

Mother Ning still couldn't bear it, "The Sun family is too much. After all, Ke'er is our adopted daughter, how can she be a concubine! Although this matter is not pleasant to hear, it has happened before. Let's say they were engaged before, and the young couple couldn't help themselves for a while. This - ah!!!"
